Cardinals Can End 39-Year Drought, and You Can Help
Cardinals Can End 39-Year Drought, and You Can Help originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Fan voting for this year's MLB All-Star Game is underway. Phase 1 of voting began yesterday and will run through noon ET on Thursday, June 26. Advertisement After Ryan Helsley was the lone Cardinals' all star in 2024, this year's team has a few players with strong cases for the All-Star Game, which will take place in Atlanta on Tuesday, July 15. Among the Cardinals' possible All-Star candidates are shortstop Masyn Winn and designated hitter Iván Herrera, but it's second baseman Brendan Donovan who appears most likely to represent the team in Atlanta. Donovan is off to an incredible start in 2025, slashing .321/.384/.462 through 57 games. He leads all qualified NL primary second basemen in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging perecentage, wRC+ and WAR, among other statistics. Advertisement If selected as the NL's starting second baseman for the All-Star Game, Donovan would be the first Cardinal to do so since Tom Herr in 1985, ending a 39-year drought. Donovan finished third in rookie of the year voting in 2022 and was named a Gold Glover that same year, but is yet to play in an All-Star Game. Cardinals second baseman Brendan DonovanTim Heitman-Imagn Images In order to be named this year's starter at second base, Donovan will first need to finish inside the top two at his position in Phase 1 of fan voting. During Phase 1 of voting, fans can cast five ballots every 24 hours on the MLB website. The results of Phase 1 will be announced on Thursday, June 26. The top two vote-getters at each position (and top six outfliders) will then move on to Phase 2 of fan voting to determine who starts in the All-Star Game. Phase 2 runs from noon ET on Monday to noon ET on Wednesday, July 2, and fans are only allowed to vote once every 24 hours. Advertisement Finally, the starters at each position will be announced at 7 p.m. ET on July 2, with the pitchers and reserves being announced at 5 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 6.

LSU baseball's Steven Milam talks West Virginia win: 'I love the big moment'
LSU baseball's Steven Milam talks West Virginia win: 'I love the big moment' Steven Milam put LSU baseball on his back during the Baton Rouge Super Regional against West Virginia. Saturday and Sunday against the Mountaineers, the sophomore infielder made his plate appearances count. With a mix of power and patience at the plate, Milam finished the series with eight RBI and credits "getting back to the basics" for his success. "I love the big moment," Milam said. "I didn't play or help my team as much as I wanted to during the year and I had to step up to take pressure off the other guys. I feel like I've been able to do that." Milam put the Tigers up big with a grand slam in Saturday's fifth inning then stroked two doubles on Sunday. He finished with two walks in each game, bringing his on-base percentage to .395 for the year. "He went out there and competed his tail off and really did a good job," LSU first baseman Jared Jones said. "He was just himself this weekend and he did a great job for us and go the momentum in our dugout." The Tigers only hope Milam's success continues now that they claimed a berth in the College World Series and learned they will open against No. 3 seed Arkansas. "Our whole team is running great at bats one through nine," Milam said. "You can punch in 15 different guys, and we're going to beat you," Milam said. This wasn't Milam's first time appearing in a big moment. In the 2024 SEC Tournament, Milam delivered a big home run that was instrumental in LSU securing an NCAA Tournament appearance. "This is why you come to LSU."

SEC Powerhouse Lands 7-Foot-1 International Prospect
International players have made names for themselves in the NBA over the past few seasons, with most of the top players being from outside of the United States. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo all from outside of the country are some of the best players in the league, with Jokic and Antetokounmpo both winning league MVP in the past, and all but Doncic are in the running for MVP this year. Advertisement International players are making the rise in college basketball, and the Texas Longhorns are the latest team to make an international addition. Under new head coach Sean Miller, they landed a 7-foot-1 British center Lewis Obiorah to be a developmental piece on his roster. Xavier Musketeers head coach Sean Hanisch-Imagn Images At just 19-years old, he will have some time to really develop into a solid center for the Longhorns, and can provide good minutes when needed. His potential exceeds just his height, as it is combined with a 7-foot-5 wingspan can be a true force in the front court in a difficult SEC conference. In his past season overseas, he averaged 10.7 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game, and looks to bring that skillset to the NCAA. Advertisement Obiorah joins a solid 2025 recruiting class with one incoming four-star freshman and five four-star transfers, as they look to improve on a First Four exit in the NCAA Tournament last season. This next season for Texas will be one to watch, as they will have to find replacements for Tre Johnson's scoring as he will likely be a top five-top ten pick in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft.
